| Football Cryptic Quiz... SPOILER ALERT! 19:40 - May 16 with 1275 views | Tangledupin_Blue |
A few days ago someone asked for ideas for football related quiz questions and I suggested questions in the form of cryptic crossword clues. So I thought I'd give it a go. Here are ten which I think are not too taxing (but I know the answers!)
Please don't post the answers on this thread but if you pm me with all or most of the answers I'll give you a name check when posting the solutions tomorrow some time.
They are not all Ipswich specific.
1) Flower of Scotland top 70s striker. (5, 4)
2) Encourage South London team. (5)
3) Curly headed striker is under landlady, partly. (10)
4) Cop takes on manager. (5, 6)
5) PL's worst team can raise havoc. (8)
6) Scottish club confuses narraters. (9)
7) Paddy sounds enthusiastic. (5)
8) Blue clergyman is after ladies' underwear. (5, 6)
9) Butcher grocer and also Town's baker (10)
10) Greensboro or perhaps Wembley hero. (5, 7)
Answers now appear a few posts below

I thought 2 was Spurs but was misdirected by the South London clue. |  |

A good piece of misdirection that. Spent way too long ignoring the tense and thinking about south London clubs.
Nice one - I do like a cryptic crossword. |  |
